Life is hard! Even with knowledge of God's word and a realization of my own destructive habits...I still emotionally crave the things of this world in ways that let me know that I am far from home. It lets me know that I am double-minded and weak and full of anger, laziness and pride. Yet my God is quietly relentless and will not let me go...he washes over me with his love and grace, he tends to my hurts, hugs me through my bitter rage and gives me strength to love in the face of hate.
God you are beyond my understanding, beyond my minds ability to conceive...how can you faithfully love me when my heart so often drifts from you? How are you not weary of my pettiness? How do you continue to grace my life when I fail to be faithful? I know that it is because you love and love, real true authentic love has no bottom...never runs dry, always hopes, is patient, does not fear or envy, keeps no record of wrongs...never delights in evil, rejoices full in truth, always protects, always hopes, always perseveres and never fails.
Yet you never can be captured or tamed or manipulated...you are stronger than any force on earth, larger than the universe itself, deeper than the blackest hole...Father tame my wandering mind and cowardly heart, fill me full with your love and grace.
